Abstract

Deployment of Broadband Internet is currently one of the most important global issues. Plans for developing agendas are very ambitious but implementation is not as expected. In this paper authors analyse broadband growth and its limitation factors, delays and gaps. Using logistic growth function, the growth limit, delay and gap for Serbia is calculated in reference to the average of EU countries. Authors selected group of broadband barriers and compared values and gaps between EU and Serbia. Results show that Serbia is lagging behind EU-27 in broadband Internet access, growth is not fast as needed and consequently delay and gaps are significant.
